From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United VC was a professional women's volleyball team in the Philippine Superliga (PSL). Established in 2017,[ 1] the club debuted under the sponsorship of United Coconut Planters Life Assurance Corporation (COCOLIFE) and played as the COCOLIFE Asset Managers from the 2017 to 2018 seasons.[ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6]
The club disbanded in June 2019 due to its inability to find a new sponsor. Prior to the disbandment, key players Alohi Robins-Hardy and Kalei Mau signed up with other PSL teams.[ 7]
